Skála Stadium, Football stadium in Skála, Faroe Islands
Skála Stadium is a football arena in the Faroe Islands with artificial turf and seating for about 300 spectators, though the grounds can hold 1000 people total. The facility was updated to provide proper conditions for matches and events.
Undir Mýruhjalla opened in 1968 as the home ground of Skála ÍF in the village of Skála. In 1984 it hosted the Faroe Islands Cup final, the club's and the ground's highest-profile match. The current descriptions' 2007 renovation is not supported by the sources.
The ground is home to Skála ÍF, the club of this village of roughly 700 on Eysturoy's east coast. Its name, Undir Mýruhjalla, refers to the cliff above the pitch. Club matches here are where local players and supporters meet week after week.
The ground lies in Skála on Eysturoy's east coast, and the 1,000 capacity is mostly standing: only 300 places are seated. Arrive early on match days for a seat, and check the local ferry and bus connections to Skála before setting out, as services are limited.
In 1984 Undir Mýruhjalla hosted the Faroe Islands Cup final, the only time the national knockout showpiece has been staged in Skála. The ground, home of Skála ÍF since 1968, seats 300 of its 1,000 capacity.
